According to herself, she’s all for Ralph Nader. Nider, Nuder, Nader left wing bonehead. So you don’t believe the writer when (s)he says that (s)he is not a leftist (or at least has LOTS of beliefs that aren’t usually characterized as leftist)? ---

[QUOTE=Rune] [Oh. You mean unlike this?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5031713&postcount=1) You _do_ realize that in that post, (with the fairly bad title) the OP actually came out and blasted both right-wing _and_ left-wing views? (And that the thread has received a fair amount of criticism for its rather silly scattergun approach to hurling invective?) A “reciprocal” post might make sense if there was overwhelming support for the original. Here it is simply reciprocally dumb. ---

**Why are there so many freaking retard liberals?** Because they only mate with each other? ---

Can pretty much guarantee you that isn’t it. Make more sense if it were true, maybe, but it isn’t. ---

> [@Zoe](#): > > **Rune** , I take it you’re not a native of Denmark. Um… Why do you take that? I’m half Danish half Faeroese, lived both places. Consider myself Scandinavian/European. My first name is Rune my surnames got twenty letters and quite unpronounceable to anyone not from those little miserable godforsaken pieces of frozen rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Am 35 or 36 or something, keep forgetting. Married to a Spanish women, got two kids so far. Self-employed. There my life in a bottle. ---

We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture.

We used to have to live in a corridor! > > MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin’ in a corridor! Woulda’ been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph. > > EI: Well when I say “house” it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US. > > GC: We were evicted from our hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake! > > TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road. > > MP: Cardboard box? > > TG: Aye. > > MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o’clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt! > > GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o’clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY! > > TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o’clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife. > > EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing “Hallelujah.” > > MP: But you try and tell the young people today that… and they won’t believe ya’. > > ALL: Nope, nope. ---

> [@Desmostylus](#): > > You live in a _bottle_? Man, that must be tough. Yeah? Well I grew up in a cup. But I worked hard my whole life so now I’m moving up the social ladder – it’s the American dream I tell you. I’m hoping my children with a good education and hard work will be able to afford to live in a barrel.
